Quyneax Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I don't see how a defensive set effect is going to make PoP armour more usable. Right now, it's equal to (not better than) Nex armour at Nex and the KK, so usable there if you tank, but nowhere else. If you add a defensive set effect, it's usable... still only tanking Nex and KK, because you don't need defence anywhere else. Ports armour costs about 50 gp per second to use, rounded up to the nearest 6s increment (using Surge, Escape, Freedom out of combat - 300 gp please). It's just a giant waste of money.

Golvellius Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 They don't really need a set effect.They are cheap and easy to get.That already makes it better than Nex.+76 damage is junk unless your using the fastest speed attacks.If Nex sets fall below 50mil then the above assessment may change.

muggiwhplar Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The limit of 3 random rewards seems unnecessary now that the rewards you get are completely random. They should remove the limit and instead place a daily limit of 3 uses of each per day or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 More Pincer storylines, for anyone who hasn't beaten them yet. Hail to the Khan [hide]"The exiled khan, Tubjub, has amassed an army of The Lost Men to invade Hyu-Ji. The island is doomed unless the Convict can meet them with explosives." Word gets to you that Tubjub, the deposed khan, has amassed an army of Lost Men to attack Hyu-Ji, and Marcus meets you over this news. You intend to send a ship out to defend Hyu-Ji, but Marcus knows better; he's been within the Lost Men for a while, and knows that to face them head-on would result in unnecessary deaths. Instead, he recounts a story of his time on Hyu-Ji: the sea orphans would often bring him items - sulphur, charcoal, and sea shells - and Marcus noted that they were always careful to keep them apart. With this in mind, Marcus intends to sail out to meet Tubjub with explosives made from these. Upon completion, the ship returns and your captain mentions to you that the explosives "turned Tubjub and the Lost Men into a fine red mist". Marcus tells you of how the council of Hyu-Ji wish to meet him, and install him as khan of Hyu-Ji, an offer he gladly plans to accept as it will keep him safer from his pursuers, with the other khans of the isles backing him up. Under his leadership, he hopes that the sea orphans will be able to protect themselves, and bids you farewell.[/hide] People are the Deadliest Disease [hide]"A pirate raid is about to arrive at Hyu-Ji island, and the sea orphans are too weak from the plague to fight effectively. It's time to send in the heavies." Bethan discovers who broke into her lab to spread the plague: it was Finia, the sea orphan who she rescued from the Blazing Lanterns. Additionally, he's managed to escape quarantine and has returned to the Clan, which leads Bethan to believe that she had been set up the whole time. Now, three ships of the Blazing Lanterns Clan are sailing from the Pincers towards Hyu-Ji; with the sea orphans too weak to defend themselves, the Biologist joins you on your ship to intercept the pirates with explosives and acid. Upon completion, Bethan returns to tell you that they managed to sink two of the pirate ships, though Finia managed to escape. She reflects on all that's happened, and how she's gained a sense of empathy towards the sea orphans. Bethan realises there's much to be learnt from them; with this in mind, she puts aside her research in favour of spending more time with the sea orphans, protecting them from the myriad threats they face.[/hide] Pulling The Tooth [hide]"Send a ship to attack Pearl Fortress: the Death Lotus headquarters. The Assassin will try to kill Baby Tooth, their leader." Before coming to port, Ling had visted Kirau, her informer, who explained that he betrayed her because Quin threatened to level his village. Out of duty to the traditions of the Death Lotus, Ling executes Kirau. Now she plans to attack the Death Lotus headquarters of the Pearl Fortress, striking them in an attack so brazen that it will hopefully catch them off-guard, and kill Baby Tooth. Upon completion, Ling returns to tell you that Baby Tooth is dead, the Order broken, and that she has claimed vengeance for her hand at last. Though they may regroup, Ling knows that the Death Lotus will no longer pursue her, as is their tradition. She foresees that Quin may also abandon her search for Ling; nonetheless, she vows to hunt down and kill Quin too. She thanks you for your shelter, ships, crew and wisdom, and agrees to be at your disposal.[/hide] In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

So Rowdy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 This morning I got my random for the day - 1x Captain, crew reroll and a bag of winds. I had 2 Captain re-rolls at the time, 3 Crew rerolls and 3 bag of winds. However, all of them maxed out. I'm gonna assume now the maximum number of possible captain and adventurer reroll is 1.
